A WOnderfn journal.

There are not more than q dozen
publications in America that can
rightfully claim circulation of over
hundred thousand copies per week,
and among weekly newspapers but
two or three can boast of that num-
Der.
One of them is The Weekly Detroit
Free Press, which is so wonderfully
popular that it circulates in excess Of
10000 copies each week, A little
calculation shows that to print this
immense issue--The Free Press being
an eight page, fifty-six column paper
it requires rolls of paper aggregating
1876 miles in length and 1850 pounds
in weight. 1t is busy day in the De-
troit Postoffice when The Free Press is
mailed. There is also an English edi-
ton OF the paper, printed in London,
Eng, $4,000 copies being sold every
week, making grand total OF 100000
copies per week.
The popularity of The Free Press is
attributable to the peculiar charm and
attractiveness which pervades its col
umns, appealing strongly to the sym
pathies and compelling the admiro
ton of readers. 1t occupies sphere
Of its own, and is unique and unap
proachable among newspapers; Their
is no other like it.
The Free Press is high toned lit
erary family journal, which seeks t
instruct, amuse, elevate and improv
the masses, by publishing only tia
which is pure and good. Its literar
standard is the highest, its pages b.
ing entirely free from the degradin
and poluting trash which characte
lie many other so-called literary an
family papers. Celebrated the worI
over for its wit and delightful hdmo
GUS sketches, it never descends to Il
low and vulgar in order to create
laugh. 1t is, in short, a bright, cris
and wholesome magazine-newspape
which any man, woman or child W
be the better for reading,
The best known authors and VIZ
ers contribute to The Free Press, al
the publishers give assurance that i

A NEW INVENTION.
A Nephi Resident Who Promises
Great Things.

1t has been for some considerable
time generally understood that the
manufacture of gas and its production
IN pure state from our own native
elements is impossible and some great
secret has been connected with its pro-
duction. This idea has been knocked
into cooked hat" by My. Samuel
Adams, of Nephi.
On Wednesday evening last some few
prominent citizens of Nephi were in
Vlted BY Mr.. Adams, to go to his resi-
dence 10 see the novelty of a house in
Nephl lit with gas, and that gas being
produced at the same time near the
house by nothing else nor with nothing
else than few pipes, coal. water and
lime. On arriving at his place the room
was found to be brilliantly lighted with
two jets and after experimenting some
with the lights the company stepped
just outside and were treated to a vivid
and interesting description of the pro
cess OF manufacture by Mr.. Adams.
MIR. Adams, when q child, worked
around gas works in England, and has
for the past forty years carried in his
for manufacturing gas, and with some
study aad expenditure OF means and
muscle, mas placed in Nephi gas
works on a small scale that are
q complete success. He has furnace
built IN which is retort that
contains about a half-peck of coal
which is cooked By means of heat
furnished from wood or coal, the fumes
and smoke from tne retsrt being forced
through a separate pipe and cooler;
thence to the purifier containing four or
i've layers of quick lime, etc., and Is
then sent into the gasometer or reservoir
when it is ready for use. This is the
entire process, and persons disbelieving
that gas can be produced thus msy
have the privilege of being convinced by
calling upon Mr.. Adams any evening
and he will be only too willing to prove
nything that is here said.
Mr.. Adams has been working very
quietly on his plans for some time past
and as he has now some facts to show,
he has right to do some Growing, but
as he doesn't feel inclined to crow we
shall make the noise for him. He has
the assistance of several of the business
men OF Nephi and men of money and
judgment, and it is only q question of q
short time when gas will be used in the
public places OF Eephi at least. One Jet
produces better light than eight or ten
kerosene lamps, and Mr.. Adams assures,
the public that after the plant it can be.
produced for the same or less cost than
it takes to keep three lamps burning
